Echo – Her Story
written by: Lynn White
It was the punishment
of a jealous goddess –
not all women stand together!
She had only been following orders
but it was no defence
at that time.
Now she could only repeat
the last words she heard,
the last sentence.
That was her sentence,
only to repeat her past words
watching those who had free will
their actions and voices repeatedly
following orders again and again.
But she could call out
loud
clear
her voice intact
resonating
as she called them out
again and again and again.
And so they followed her,
those women united
in disobedience
united in calling out
in chorusing
an anthem
echoing
down the ages.
She feels free now.
Her sentence is served
she has found her voice
and they will surely
overcome
someday.
